About the Bourbon Apple Crisp
A small-batch dessert for two. Fresh apple slices are tossed in Garrison Brothers Small Batch, melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, topped with an oat streusel and baked until golden. Serve it warm, straight from the skillet, with scoops of vanilla ice cream melting into the bourbon-caramel apples.
Questions, answered
Does the alcohol cook off?
Most of it, but not all. Baking for 25 minutes leaves some alcohol in the apples, so treat this as an adults-only dessert.
Which apples work best?
Firm, tart-sweet apples like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith or Braeburn hold their shape and balance the brown sugar.
Can I make a bigger batch?
Yes. Quadruple everything and bake in a 9×13 dish for 35 to 40 minutes. That serves about eight.
